Signature

Type 1, diagnosed in Singapore age 51 by +ve GAD65Abs and nonexistent c-peptide. Now living back in UK after 20 years in Asia.
Since August 2019 I've self funded a Dexcom G6 CGM and more recently a G7. Even with carb counting only strict low carbs/keto keep me in range, but very hard work. 15 years on MDI, just received my first pump, Omnipod DASH. Will update how this goes.
